Forty-one times

Huan Zhen sneered, "You are such a rough man, don't know anything! Tomorrow, you will commit suicide into Zunhua, and you will be a riot and a bandit. Even if you are willing to be successful, most of the official troops will arrive in a blink of an eye. You will ask yourself how many days may you resist?" Meng Bao said this to him, and shook his head, saying, "It's better to die if you freeze to death and starve to death. It's better to have a good knife." Huan Zhen said seriously, "Why do you have to die? Listen to me, if you surrender now, I will have a way to ask you to eat your stomach, and you will be the best."

The assassin expelled from the territory of the Ming Dynasty was a hero. Not only did he save his own life, his wife's property, but he would also be loved and grateful to the people. One was a rioter and bandit, and the other was a hero. What do you want to do?" His last sentence was right outside the door. People who were slightly closer could hear it clearly, and they could not help but whisper and talk. Gradually, the range of commotion became larger and larger. Some soldiers showed hesitation. After all, as long as there was still a way to go, no one would be willing to rebel.

This sentence also came to Meng Bao's heart. His military households have been with military achievements for generations, but his generation has been his military achievements, but only for his generation, the border defense has not only failed to achieve success, but also suffered from cold and hunger. In his heart, he always felt that he had suffered a great humiliation. Therefore, he was willing to take the lead in making trouble, which was also a move to give up on himself. Now Huan Zhen's words aroused his ambitions again. He looked at Huan Zhen a few times and said viciously: "I will believe you for the time being. If there is a lie, this big knife will still take your head!" Meng Bao seemed to have a high prestige in the army. As soon as he spit, many soldiers were shaken.

Seeing that the attack was effective, Huan Zhen struck while the iron was hot and said, "Submit immediately, I will still be my Ming soldiers. After defeating Hasshen, everyone will be rewarded!" The soldiers who were shaken in their hearts could no longer hold on when they heard his words. They threw their weapons and fell to the ground. They still refused to do so, and kicked Meng Bao one by one, and they all kicked them down. Huan Zhen always paid attention to the veteran, but when he saw that he didn't say a word, he threw down the spear in his hand and knelt down, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart.

Meng Bao walked up, untied Huan Zhen's bondage, knelt towards Geng Ruqi, and said, "Biao Xia was confused for a moment, and made a big mistake. He was willing to kill him, but after he wanted to defeat the enemy, he would kill me!" Geng Ruqi nodded and asked him out to rectify the troops. Seeing Meng Bao go out, except for himself and Huan Zhen, there was only a coma Deng Shixing left in the room. Then he asked Huan Zhen in a low voice: "A hundred miles, the food required for the five thousand troops is less than one or two hundred stones. What can you do to raise it overnight?" Huan Zhen shook his head and said, "I have no way." Geng Ruqi was shocked and thought to himself that you just saw you swearing to the riots. But he knew that they were hollow glutinous rice dumplings. Although they were temporarily pacified, they would not rebel again tomorrow? They couldn't help but sweat on their foreheads and said, "Then...what should I do?"

Huan Zhen asked back, "Zhen is just here, but the local people are not very satisfied. May I ask, where is the most food in the area within a radius of ten miles?" Geng Ruqi replied without thinking, "It is naturally Zunhua Dafeng Cang." Suddenly, he woke up and said in surprise: "Don't Baili really want to open the warehouse? It is a serious crime to use the national grains!" Huan Zhen sighed, "Now the five thousand officers and soldiers are about to rebel. The situation of the northern enemy border is worrying. The Kuanhe area is less than a thousand people, so it may not be able to compete with it. Is it more serious to use the national grains to use or to sit back and watch the mutiny? I hope the adults will think about it myself.

If the lord never dares, then I will knock the lord unconscious and do it myself. In short, it would be difficult to take Huan Zhen to look at this situation and ignore it." Geng Ruqi lowered his head and said for a while, and slapped the table hard, "I can only bear the national food supply, but I can bear the one who is the one who is the one who is invading; even if the enemy invades, I will bear the millions of people in the northern border. If Qi would rather bear one person, I will not bear ten thousand people. Well, as Baili said." Although Huan Zhen did not know what the charge would be for opening a private warehouse, he looked at his appearance and thought he had taken a huge risk to do this, and he couldn't help but admire him.

Geng Ruqi made up his mind and immediately opened the door with Huan Zhen. Huan Zhen saw that Meng Bao had already concentrated all the soldiers in the schoolyard, and thought in his heart that this person was a general, but unfortunately his mind was a little underdeveloped. He called him over and asked him and the grain transport officer to lead 500 troops, immediately enter the city, open a Dafeng warehouse to move 150 stones of rice, and face 150 stones. No more minute or a tiny outside the rest should be given before dawn. If someone stopped him, just tie him up and must not hurt anyone's life. At that time, it was already four o'clock, and Meng Bao received the military order and did not dare to delay, so he ordered people to go.

Huan Zhen had to take this time to think about how to defeat the enemy. The scout who came to report just now, except for knowing that the vanguard of the assassin had arrived at Kuanhe Station and had fought with Li Yu, a thousand households, could not tell anything clearly. Even how many people there were on the other side were confused and really didn't know how he was a scout. But according to Geng Ruqi, the troops stationed in Kuanhe Station were named 1,100, but in fact there were only about 800. Li Yu felt that he could not resist it with 800 people. I believe that there would be no fewer enemies going south this time. The nation went south to plunder, mostly horse teams. The five thousand people here are basically all infantry. They are not advantageous with the use of infantry, and they are not even aware of the number of enemies at present. Now they called the Yuanmen Officer and asked him to pick out more than twenty smart, skilled, and agile soldiers, and sent them out in several directions to find out the direction of Hasshen's advance, and immediately rewarded them. Geng Ruqi was a civil servant. He didn't know how to fight, and he couldn't figure out what Huan Zhen said was right or wrong, so he could only do it.

Huan Zhen carefully recalled the gains of his talks with Fu Shan during his time in Xiaowutai. He had to come through the map and put it under the torch to take a closer look. When he encountered a place that he couldn't tell clearly, he had to ask Geng Ruqi. He thought in his heart that if he had the chance in the future, he would definitely try to promote modern maps. After watching for a long time and thinking for a long time, he finally came up with several ways for him, but none of the scouts sent out now reported it, and the enemy situation was not clear, so he could not make a decision easily.

After a while, it was getting brighter, but Meng Bao still hadn't come back. While Huan Zhen was thinking about a strategy to defeat the enemy, he was worried that he had made any mistakes, whether he had taken them for him, or killed the city officials; while he was afraid that the officers and soldiers here would not be able to wait, and they would start to stir up again. He really regretted that time would not pass. Finally, he heard a wave of rumbling sounds. Meng Bao led 500 soldiers and pushed the grain cart and appeared in front of everyone. The 5,000 officers and soldiers on the school ground were dazed in an instant, then ecstatic, and then cried loudly, and hugged them all. Huan Zhen saw that the food could make people crazy so much, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart and quickly made a fry. However, without his instructions, someone had already done it.

Meng Bao came up to report that he was blocking the defenders when he entered the city gate. He climbed up to the city to open the gate. Later, when he moved grain in the warehouse, some officials said nothing. He was so angry that he fainted, but he did not hurt his life. Huan Zhen praised him, and asked him to temporarily lead the general and lead the two battalions of soldiers here. Meng Bao was overjoyed and agreed happily. After a while, the rice was cooked, and the army had not seen rice for several days, and it tasted like a hungry wolf. Huan Zhen was worried that someone would eat too much when he stopped the marching and caused abdominal pain, so he couldn't stop walking through the camp and told them to eat less. It happened that after the meal, he received the report from the scout, saying that Li Yu's strength was not comparable. He had led the remnants to the east to defeat. Now the enemy was heading south. The two guards had not been ordered and did not dare to go out. According to his rough estimate, the number of the Hassan troops who were invading the south this time was at least seven or eight thousand. Huan Zhen asked Geng Ruqi to allow him to follow the orders and go to the Dongsheng Right Guard and Zhongyi Central Guard respectively, and handed over to the command of the department, so that they could defend their troops and horses to cross the defense boundary. At the same time, they should always pay attention to the movements and situations in the south, and wait for the army to take the battle and immediately encircle them from behind. In this way, a barrel shape was formed, and the enemy who was invaded was limited to the Zunhua area. The next question was how to break the horse with steps.

The horse army was originally the nemesis of the infantry, but he remembered that Fu Shan had talked to him that Qi Jiguang wrote the "Strange Record of Military Training", which recorded the method of chopping horse legs to break the horse army, which was very effective. He summoned several generals and asked them to take charge of the headquarters, like a wall. As soon as the order was issued, he immediately moved forward, and used a long sword and big stick to chop the horse's head. After the horse was injured and fell to the ground, the enemy was dropped and before he could turn around, he beat the head with a knife and stick, and then ordered him to After killing the enemy, cut off his left ear as a mark. After the war, each ear can be replaced with a set of enemy clothes and a dead horse. If you dare to charge in the former, you will be rewarded with all the good horses after the war. The soldiers were full of food after Huan Zhen's power, and were grateful to him. Now they heard that all the seized belong to him, and they were even more excited. They all said that horse meat can be eaten, clothes can be worn, and raw horses can be sold for money in the future. In addition, they just had enough food, and the morale of the army was so high that it was the best.

Seeing that morale was available, Huan Zhen asked Geng Ruqi to give an order and leave five hundred troops to guard the camp, and the rest drove together. He rode his own horse and escorted the formation with Geng Ruqi in the central army.

Kuanhe Institute was not far from Zunhua. After the Hassassin's team crossed Kuanhe Institute, they headed south and soon encountered Geng Ruqi's army. When they met with horse stance, the horse army had a little advantage, and they could even kill many of them by stepping alone. According to Huan Zhen, the subordinates of each general were all specialized in cutting horse legs. Although many of the soldiers were killed or injured, they also cut down many people and horses for a while. Meng Bao was even more afraid of death. He waved a thick-backed sword and shouted to fight. At the flash of the sword, the enemy cavalry fell to the ground one after another. He didn't cut his ears. He just waved his sword and the enemy's head flew away to the point of nowhere. For a moment, Huan Zhen remembered Liu Heihu in the battle of Xiaowutai.

The two armies met at the time of Si and fought directly. Both sides suffered heavy casualties. Dongsheng and Zhongyi guards also completed the encirclement and began to attack from behind the enemy. The leader Hasshen saw the enemy being attacked from both sides and whistled, and wanted to retreat. Huan Zhen was not willing to let go, and the drummer was trying to beat the drums desperately and chased after him. He expected that there were still two guards in the north and would be able to stop him. But he knew that the defeated enemy did not chase him, which was indeed not a false statement. In a hurry, the leader Hasshen turned around and counterattacked, and nearly 10,000 guards behind him ignored him and attacked Huan Zhen's tired soldiers.

....................................................

This method of breaking the horse was recorded by Qi Jiguang. If someone wanted to study with me, it would be feasible or not... I couldn't know. In addition, I mentioned earlier that there were bird gun soldiers in Zunhua, but why was it useless? Because the number of bird guns was too small and it took time to load, and the horse team rushed to the front before they could shoot.
